Most definitely! There is a WordPress plugin called AppPresser which connects WordPress to PhoneGap, making it easy to access native device features and create an application that feels less like a wrapper. One of the challenges mentioned above is offline access, however, that is currently being worked on. Currently, there are a number of extensions to enable native device features as well as adding e-commerce functionality via Woocommerce.

AppPresser requires an app-specific theme to work (you can always build your own) but fortunately, there is the AppTheme provided by the makers of AppPresser, which offers an optimized app-style theme that is more likely to be approved by Apple's review team.

You can see AppPresser in action (there are a few apps available now using it) by checking out their website: http://apppresser.com.

It's clear to me that Chris is on a mission. Whether that mission is personal or professional - he will continue to succeed. It comes easy for him because he's clearly hardworking but seems to be driven by another purpose. Having heard about his new venture (Lift) I'm excited to see it become a success.

Chris Wallace, and his team through his leadership, were amazing partners for us at Endevver. He delivered amazing work, took notes well, and always worked hard for us and our clients. Most of all though is that Chris worked hard to make *my* company look good while working through him - and for that I am most grateful.

I worked with Chris while designing a WordPress theme for his company UpThemes. He was great to work with and provided clear direction and helpful feedback. Chris is a visionary and a true entrepreneur.
